On her way home she listened to a song about a "purple" people "eater." She wanted to go to the river to "swim" but remembered there wasn't a good swimming "hole" this time of year. As she was taking the groceries in she saw a "fox" running toward her so she threw the cherries at him.VERSION
BUILD
SMASHED
TREES
ROCKS
The cherries were like “rocks” hitting the Fox in the head. He lost his balance and fell into a hole that was hidden behind a line of pine “trees”. The hole was very dark and very deep with smooth walls. He felt around the bottom to see if he could find any objects that could be used to “build” some “version” of a ladder. The only thing he could find was a bed of pine needles. He thought he saw something moving under them. As he bent over to sniff out the situation, there was a “smash” of a rock over his head. OUT
PIGEON
FESTERING
JUICE
TINGLE
Just when she thought she was "out" of the park, she saw another "pigeon" walking on the trail. As she watched the bird walking freely about, she thought how nice it would be to walk without the new shoes she chose to wear today. She could feel the "tingle" of a new and "festering" blister soon after putting them on. All she wanted now was to kick off her shoes at the nearby cafe and order a nice glass of ice cold "juice." PARADE
TURKEY
SURPRISE
WORRY
SIMPLE
As she sipped her juice, she began to “worry” about the time. She should be getting home to put the “Turkey” in the oven. Her husband loved the smell of it roasting in the oven, and since it wasn’t even Thanksgiving, it would be a pleasant “surprise”. On her way home she was waylaid by a “parade” that blocked off all the roads that led to her house. She thought, anything just be “simple” for one day?CRASH
CALMLY
CLEAN
COIL
CREAP
Mom "calmly" weaved her car between the wreckage of the "crash" and tried to stay where the street was "clean", so she didn't have to worry about running over anything. Just when she thought she was safe some "creep" jumped out and threw the car's ignition "coil" right at her. Boy was she glad to finally make it home after this!SINGLE
TROUBLE
APPLE
DINNER
POLLUTION
She got all her "dinner" ingredients together and realized there would be "trouble" because she didn't have a "single" "apple". Almost impossible to make apple salad without at least one. "Guess i will hav e to go back out into the "pollution"' she said.HOWEVER
PLASTER
MIND
HOLLYWOOD
KNIVES
When she reached for one of her new "knives" she noticed the "plaster" on her new kitchen wall was falling apart. "However," she knew when she saw the idea in that "Hollywood" magazine, they said not to "mind" if parts the wall starts to fall apart right after installation.DREAMER
HORSE
TRUFFLE
DECISION
TOURIST
What "decision" should she make about the wall? Her house isn't a "tourist" destination so no hurry. There is more than enough time to eat a "horse" shaped "truffle". She always was a day "dreamer".FIRST
PAID
PERMIT
BENEFIT
Before she could fix the wall, she will “first” check to see if she needed a “permit” to remodel from the county. She sent in the necessary forms in the “mail”. After three weeks she received a notice that a fee needed to be “paid” and returned with the signed forms. It was three weeks before she received approval to remodel. They also sent her a list of accredited carpenters; this information would “benefit” her well because she was not very handy. TOOLS
COMFORT
GREEN
INVEST
LIVE
Her "comfort" level with "tools" was very low. She didn't want to "invest" a substantial amount of money in either equipment or time. She decided she could "live" with a little help with the construction but she could handle the "green" paint that she was considering.SHOW
CENTRAL
BUTTON
MOUNTAINS
WORST
Even though the green color she chose wasn’t the “worst” she’d ever seen, she wished she’d chosen something in the blue family. She felt that would go well with the view of the “mountains” through the kitchen window; that it would “show” their majesty. She lived in Castle Rock, fifty miles from “central” Denver, Colorado, near Echo Mountain. She also knew blue was the favorite color of her cat, “Button”.TWIN
